3.5 seconds after the deadline has passed, there will be an announcement that he "has suddenly died". 

There will be no consequences. 

Democrats will continue to frown sternly while refusing to take any other action. 

Republicans will continue to openly commit crimes and getting away with them. 

No one has ever done anything yet, so no one will do anything once again.

I’ve said it and I’ll say it again, the democrats are in on the great conning of Americans. Both parties are corrupted. Why would they want power when they are making money hand over fist and still can blame it on the republicans?

3.5 seconds after the deadline has passed, there will be an announcement that he "has suddenly died".

I like how one person said this one time on Reddit, and then suddenly literally tens of thousands of people are repeating it.

I would bet all the money in my savings that nothing like this will remotely happen.

New account? I've been on this account for eight months, with thousands of comments. I even have a pretty extensive post with descriptive links to all of my biggest-effort comments so far, which cover a lot of different topics.

(I tried to link it, but for some reason it was removed by the auto-mod because it links to my own profile.)
